“This place is amazing! They provide laser tag, escape rooms and more but the two times I had been here was for go-karting! The go-karts are petrol fuelled, and they produce a wonderful sensation when driving around the corners. They are suitable for kids (starting 8 years old)⦔
“Have just finished the brand new pirate escape room and I have nothing to say except WOW. When walking in it felt as though we were on a real ship, the care and consideration which has gone into the construction of the room and the planning of the clues is exceptional. Easy the⦔
“We had our son's 7th birthday party here yesterday and it was absolutely amazing! All the kids had such a blast with the laser tag, and all the adults got to have a go too - it was so much fun! The party room was great, well equipped and clean, and the pizza was delicious too.⦔
